Ghislaine sang other names
in the same tone of voice, to see how I'd react. And I cried just as much. So
clearly it was the pitch or the key of the song that bothered me. The other
children began amusing themselves by making me cry until my mother intervened.
No more singing in that key. But they weren't kept from playing music and
singing in all the other keys. I had the incredible luck
to be born into a home that was filled with music and song from morning until
night—sometimes even from evening until
morning. The music of others—Janis
Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Felix Leclerc, Jacques Brel, Barbra Streisand, and
Ginette Reno—as well as our own music.
The music that my parents played—my
father with his accordion and my mother with her violin—reels, gigs, the lively dance music called rigadoons. And the
music that my brothers and sisters played with their guitars, pianos,
percussion instruments ... Is it any
wonder that all of us have remained deeply attached to our childhoods? We were far from rich. But
we loved each other. And we had our music, which in addition to health and
love, represents what's most beautiful and precious in this world. I really believe that
where there is music, happiness can't be far behind. As my brother Clement says, music attracts happiness like
the wooden decoys that hunters use attract deer or moose. This explains why family
has always been so important to me, why it is directly connected to my
happiness and my emotional equilibrium, to my everyday life and my career.
I've always been very close to my parents, to my brothers and sisters, but especially to my mother. Even when I reached the age when almost all girls break away from their mothers, distance themselves, try to emancipate themselves or even openly rebel, I continued to see my mother as a role model. She was my friend, my confidante and pal, as well as that irreplaceable, essential, unique being chat a mother is. My mother is the pillar of our family. She wrote my first songs. She was my first manager. If today I've met the man who has made me happy, it's thanks to her ... and it's in spice other as well.
